White Aberdeen

Looking out of my window it's like a scene out of Day after Tomorrow. I
have a snow drift that's just below my window sill.... My Car has ceased
to exist under a pile of snow!

I remember it being what must have been around 6' high between our's and 'er
next door's house. :)

Foxy at w**k...

I remember a BIG snow, taller than me as a school girl but 1947 is too
early I think it must have been something like 1962, as I was about 8 at
the time

Ali...

Like this, the winter of 62/63, somewhere on the North Yorks Moors.

I remember it well too. I was in South Kensington - final year at
Imperial College. We were skating on the Round Pond in Kensington Gardens
and the Serpentine in Hyde Park right up to April.

Foxy at w**k...

i just made a MASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIVE snowman (being only 8) lol

As undergraduates we were at an age when are a few more important things on
our minds. :)

Foxy at w**k...

I can imagine :-)

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

I don't have to ! LOL

Pingu...

The Holland Club? thats what it was called when I used to visit my friends
at Imperial college.

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

Didn't know that other than it could have been a group who lived in the
Holland Park area. I spent a term there in 1963. The most important one
we lads knew or were interested in was ICWA - which had a very small
selective membership. (Imperial College Womens' Association - well there
were very few girls taking science and technology in those days) :)

Pingu...

LOL! The holland club is the pub/club based within the grounds of the
college, and is mostly for post Grad staff. I have a friend that became a
supervisor during his final time there. He has now moved on and works in a
big financial organisation in the city.

Lovely picture Ali Thank you

That will have been the year I remember it well.

Rabbit...

Oh I was expecting piccies :-( You take care on those roads up there.

Faolan...

Oh I have been dancing on the roads already. Aberdeen itself is pretty
much a no go zone with trucks/buses having trouble navigating hills!

Rabbit...

Must be really bad then. When my sister stayed there ( Well Ellon but she
jbexed in Aberdeen) she always admired the way they managed to keep the
roads clear, the pavements too for that matter. It was the first time she
had seen a pavement snowplough :-)

Shots will follow later... Got a volunteer to play in the snow

Rabbit...

Oh yeah ???? I hope she has more clothes on than in the last piccies you
posted here ;-) ;-)

Got some from yesterday but it's a nightmare getting anywhere to get
some shots... However I will attempt it today!

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

Anything like this?

Rabbit...

Couldn't you have found a smaller one ???:-)

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

I did try. LOL

Jackie...

Very small FN, could hardly see it!!!!

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

What exactly are you referring to though Jackie? ;)
I believe that some things shrivel up a bit in the cold weather. LOL

Jackie...

The piccie, of course FN

Foxy at w**k...

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

Sure??????????????????????????? ;)

Foxy at w**k...

That's little

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

What is? Don't you have a good magnifying glass? ;)

Foxy at w**k...

lol No

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

You aren't missing much. :)

Rabbit...

There's a good one in the Daily Record toady of a guy standing at a bus
stop, with the snow up to his knees. That's called hope :-)

Foxy at w**k...

Awaiting with bated breath

Essentially the North East of Scotland is essentially snow bound. This
is the worst I have seen it for a long time.

Rabbit...

I read in the press that Altmaharra had -16C the lowest temperature in
Britain this winter.

The good news I won a bet for saying that March would be when we get hit!

Foxy at w**k...

Any pictures Faolan

Smokey...

Shall we send up a rescue team then ??? How is Moray farin ??
Have you any nice photo's or are you housebound ??

Anita Carter...

Down here in my corner of London, the sun is still shining brightly and it
is not cold out there !
Only a slight frost last night on the roofs of the cars, none on the ground.

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

But how much? Was it worth it? LOL
